Is Lionel Sanders or Sam Long the next American to win Kona

I said what I said…

No.

He may be a snowbird, but Sanders is still a Canuck!! :slight_smile:

No, neither can swim.

Currently maybe… but he has sold his house…

If he can sing Snowbird, Justin says he can still retain his citizenship.

Not as long as Frodeno or Lange are in the mix.

I remember when Peter Reid suddenly became “North American” instead of Canadian in the USA Tri media after his string of Kona wins…Sorry but Lionel isn’t American…

Unless they shorten the swim course again, no. Neither will win.
But that’s why sports are cool. You never know!

What happens when he gets his green card…

Why would he need one of those?

No, neither can swim.

They both have a chance if both Frodo and Lange flat or have cramps, or are injured. Both of these guys have proven that they can have off days, its just that both have not had off days on the same day yet. One of these guys has been on every October from 2015-2019. But one of them is always off or gets a flat/drafting. Kienle beat Frodo in 2014 due to penalty+flat if I recall correctly.

He’s sold his home and has moved to the US… they are going to get green cards eventually

We have had many successful Irish citizens “adopted” by the British in the past so I am very familiar with this issue. :slight_smile:

Still not US citizens with a green card.

I have a green card and no desire to become an American citizen.

For professional triathletes, hope of other athletes who are better getting flats, mechanicals, cramps or having off days at World Championships isn’t really a good strategy for winning a World Championship.

Tim O’Donnell wondering what he has to do to get some respect.

Huge TO fan. I just haven’t seen him race in quite a while. Thinking that the new breed is gonna be too strong for him.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

God I needed a good laugh.
Your putting those two in a class they don’t belong… Especially Long

Not as long as Frodeno or Lange are in the mix.

Long, at least, is young enough he should be around after those two have gone. Who’s to say there won’t be someone else who takes their place of dominance, but then again, who’s to say it won’t be him? :wink:
